Mr. Speaker, today people of Chinese descent all over the world are celebrating the year of the rabbit, Chinese New Year.
Canadians of Chinese descent work in their communities across the country in finance, in the professions of law, medicine, dentistry and teaching, in engineering and high technology, various small, medium and large business ventures, in government and even politics. Wherever they are in Canada, Canadians of Chinese descent are making significant contributions, creating jobs, participating in their communities and improving overall standards of living.
To all Canadians I wish happiness and prosperity for this, the year of the rabbit.
